One of the advantages of age is that you have more experience to draw from.
The panics, the shortages, the wild fluctuations in prices, etc.; are far more predictable and far less disturbing when you've been through them before.
Younger people see every blip of the radar as something to be terrified of. Older people have been through more and don't panic as easily.
After you've lived through gas shortages, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, inflation, heat waves, recessions, depressions, wars, pandemics, riots, unemployment, power outages, and flat tire or two...........you don't think the world is going to end because some idiot liberal tells you to be afraid of something.
